😦

[vagrant mica]

Don’t remember the last time I saw a discount on ultimate

[sage ice]

She just came out of the sun, and went there to cool off.

[topaz reef]

Is there like xbox support here?

[spice spindle]

I might just buy it each month

[sage ice]

That is the angry one.

[vagrant mica]

From a “legitimate” source may I add

[gray latch]

""legitamate""

[marble compass]

Love the smiley face on the package right by her head.

[spice spindle]

Idk if those 3rd larty sites are tristworthy all the recent reviews are negative

[limpid flicker]

No official support, the best you get is community support from other folks here.
Go to the website for official support.

[sage ice]

I think that is a bag of scrunchies or something, that is the wife's half of the office

[spice spindle]

Id send my cat but hes not here rn and its not really my cat 🤣

Just a cat i feed

[gray latch]

stove top stuffing is lit

[vagrant mica]

Doesn’t look that negative to me: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.cdkeys.com

[spice spindle]

Read the 1 star reviews theyre all recent

[vagrant mica]

No, they just show you the recent negative reviews if you filter

[marble compass]

All my cats are plushies. (I'd say stuffed but I'm afraid of what people might think of me). :)

[spice spindle]

Can u help me find a year of ultimate from a legit seller?

Are they actually stuffed? 🤣

Also do any of u play sea of thieves? Thats the 1st game i bought, that and rust/dayz

[sage ice]

sea of thieves is included with Ult.

[cinder veldt]

Reminds me I have yet to play it ever since I got it for free way back

[lunar tartan]

There we go

[spice spindle]

It looks great, and yea so is dayz but i realized that to late lol i bought the codes but i bought the delixe edition of sea of thieves so il just tell myself the cosmetics were worth it to help me cope 🤣

[cinder veldt]

Still thankful for that one person on Facebook

[spice spindle]

I want a yeaely pass at a discounted rate, thats basically normal price

[mellow roost]

Doesn't exist.

[vagrant mica]

You’re not gonna get a discounted price anywhere besides grey market sellers

[gray latch]

[mellow roost]

Don't even go there, chief.

[lunar tartan]

Haha the grinch

[gray latch]

:)

it's animated too

[vagrant mica]

Nitro features

My main profile picture is also animated

[lunar tartan]

I’m just a boring tree 😝

[vagrant mica]

Reminds me, I’m getting my tree next weekend

[dark yoke]

That’s cool

[vagrant mica]

We still go for a live one

[gray latch]

xmas trees are rad tho!

[halcyon stratus]

Ultimate year passes are not really available. But 4 3 mo or 12 1 mo

[gray latch]

mine is 8' tall and sparkly purple

[vagrant mica]

My dog always ends up knocking the baubles off the tree 😂

[gray latch]

live trees are great tho, I love the way they smell

[vagrant mica]

Yeah, my uncle always brings us one down since he lives near a forest

[gray latch]

actually the reason we have this ridic purple tree is bc I used to always get live, and then we had a housemate who's allergic. so I decided if I had to have a fake tree, it was gonna be bonkers

[fluid creek]

wait i wanna see the 8' tall purple tree!

that sounds fab

[gray latch]

it's not up yet! but I will share when it is :)

[gleaming crest]

What other websites are like that

[vagrant mica]

You mean like sites that show reviews or grey market sites?

[spice spindle]

Have any of u bought game pass from 3rd party sellers before?

[vagrant mica]

Because I personally don’t recommend other grey markets other than cdkeys

[sage ice]

no

[vagrant mica]

I always buy game pass from cdkeys.

[gleaming crest]

Fair enough
Im tryna find fh2 thats why

[spice spindle]

Lol why did u change my name

[sage ice]

The bot did, didn't like something

[gray latch]

if it got changed, it was for a reason

[spice spindle]

Nothing wrong with my name

[gray latch]

not up to you here

[gleaming crest]

Lol 😭

[vagrant mica]

Probably because it was to do with politics

[gleaming crest]

Quick question

How was that a mute?

[gray latch]

I didn't mute them and it's not your business anyway

[gleaming crest]

Alright ig

[gray latch]

since you're so concerned about it, they changed their name to a slur and the bot removed it and muted

[vocal gorge]

ordered myself some new headphones and based off various reviews I have been reading I can't wait to hear how they sound. Hopefully get them from Monday

[gray latch]

nice!

I bought a couch

[vocal gorge]

ooh, nice! Hope it is very comfy

[fluid creek]

is it purple

[plucky sluice]

Yo I connected this headset to my Xbox and the volume and everything works but the mic no work (mic works on other devices) anyone know a fix

[fluid creek]

and sparkly

[gray latch]

it's purple!!

not sparkly tho

I wosh I took a photo but I didn't

it'll get delivered this coming week

[vagrant mica]

What headset?

[acoustic niche]

Man I need more games to download and play rather than sticking with either Minecraft or infuriating games

[vocal gorge]

hi

[vagrant mica]

Oh cool

[polar ore]

Hye guys . Can I ask something ? Do you guys know about 'Major Nelson' ? He is my friend in Xbox . So , I'm curious about him . Is that really him or someone else pretended to be him ?

[lilac plover]

BRO

MY FRIENDS DAD RANDOMLY GIFTED ME WWE 2K23

[fluid creek]

nice

[fluid creek]

he's real

he used to be the "face of Xbox" but he recently retired

nice guy

[polar ore]

I just bought Xbox Series X and Major Nelson friended with me . It is automatic ?

[fluid creek]

it's a suggestion IIRC

but yes basically 🙂

[polar ore]

Ouhh

[halcyon stratus]

note that "you followed..." and "you became friends with..." are 2 different things

[polar ore]

It said 'active friend'

[vagrant mica]

Yeah, didn’t you ask this the other day

[fluid creek]

they did not

[vagrant mica]

Someone did anyway

[open flume]

someone else did

[halcyon stratus]

weird that [the major account] would friend random people since there is a friend limit (as opposed to just letting people follow you which is 'no limit')

[turbid jewel]

Csn someone help me

[vagrant mica]

Definitely feeling deja vu today lol

[marble compass]

I had pie... still have pie. I think I'll be eating pie all weekend. :(

[broken tusk]

So prototype seems good. Idk on prototype 2 tho

[halcyon stratus]

Brisket > turkey

[marble compass]

I've never had brisket, but I hear good things about it when it's cooked right.

[surreal hamlet]

I read Brisket and only thought of Bridget from Guilty Gear

[maiden snow]

Brisket is good if trimmed right

If you leave a lot of fat on it it doesn’t turn out as good

[marble compass]

I think that's true of many things.

[maiden snow]

Fair but with brisket it is especially true

Since a good brisket takes like 8-12 hours to cook gotta baby that thing to make sure it turns out perfect

Generally you wanna plan for anywhere from 12-18 hours tho

[marble compass]

I don't know that I have the patience to spend that long cooking. But I do appreciate those that do.

[maiden snow]

I min maxed my skills into cooking brisket and ribs

[marble compass]

I honed my skills on baking, chocolate and candy making.

[fluid creek]

i went for the "jack of all trades, master of none" route

make a 10lb prime rib? you got it

make some cookies? sure

[maiden snow]

I can make a mean old fashioned

[marble compass]

I haven't mastered any of them, but I'm better than average. Haven't made fudge in a while, and the batch I made today looks more like a brownie. Fudge came out dry, but edible.

[maiden snow]

Mail me some brownie fudge fr fr

Fudge is amazing

[marble compass]

I'm going to try another batch tomorrow. I think my marshmallows were too old for this first batch.

[maiden snow]

That will do it

[hasty ridge]

[light veldt]

Guys are there black Friday sales on most games you can get online in the Xbox store?

Gonna get an Xbox soon as was asking to see if I needed to buy a physical disc to get a discount on UFC 5

[lapis ferry]

My dad bought me an Xbox Series S to open it on Christmas Day. It comes with 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

A few more weeks and then I'll be able to jump back onto the Xbox Bandwagon with you guys, and play NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered.

[dreamy hedge]

Howdy

[mellow roost]

I'm not entirely sure if I'm understanding the question, but everything available on the store (unless specified otherwise, like the hardware section) is a digital product and needs nothing else.

Xbox sales affect these items.

I'm wording this so poorly. 💀

[quasi echo]

my 4 year old nephew told me that he doesnt want santa to come becuase he'll break the toilet

[halcyon stratus]

I think they mean “will Xbox.com put all the digital games on sale” because places like GameStop are@putting physical games on sale

[fair flower]

Can I ask a faver

[halcyon stratus]

And to that… just check the website. I expect that the sales active right now are what the Black Friday sale are going to be

[quasi echo]

Sure

[halcyon stratus]

Not if the favor is money…

[quasi echo]

and if it isnt illegal

[upper breach]

( You fell) from fall guys (only achievement emoji i find 😭 )

[fair flower]

Well I don't get my allowance in till the sale ends I need 23$ I am willing to pay back 30$

[halcyon stratus]

What did I literally just say

[quasi echo]

I dont even give money to rdr2 npcs

[weary solar]

#rules 💵 13. No buying, selling, or trading items/codes on the server. Do not ask for codes, handouts, or freebies either.

[quasi echo]

ill send a gif of money

but thats about it...

[tired hare]

Question: how long is the Xbox Series X sale until

Really need to know if the sale continues into tomorrow

[halcyon stratus]

Black Friday usually goes through cyber Monday. But there is no legal requirement.

Many store advertisements will@mention what does the sale prices applies to - but even then will say the offer is only good as long as they have stock

[hollow hawk]

okay.. now I think I'm done with Cyberpunk for the night.

[full tangle]

Hi!

[hollow hawk]

Heya!

[full tangle]

how are you?

[hollow hawk]

Quite well, just finished my hot chocolate mug, I might do some computer work before I go to bed

[full tangle]

Oh ok!

[hollow hawk]

Besides being broke currently, I feel pretty good

[full tangle]

Not alone bro 😢 😂

[dark sparrow]

I forgot how lowered the crosshair is

[full tangle]

Kk

[dark sparrow]

Also, I have no idea what that skin is

[full tangle]

Is that Cod Black ops III??

[dark sparrow]

That's Halo 3

[abstract pulsar]

I wonder how I'm supposed to get the console commands in DST working - in a solo server, that is

[hollow hawk]

On the Xbox? They're likely inaccessible, not unless it lets you by plugging in a keyboard and hitting the magic key that opens the console on the PC version.

[abstract pulsar]

On PC, my Xbox's PSU kicked the bucket

People claim I need to change the command entry to "REMOTE" or something, but I can't

I feel pretty silly, seeing as I can't figure it out

[halcyon stratus]

what?
who is telling you to change "command entry" (and what is that) to fix a hardware problem?

[abstract pulsar]

Hardware? I was talking about Don't Starve Together

[halcyon stratus]

oh i see. i didn't understand and thought you were trying to fix your psu

[abstract pulsar]

I wish it were that easy LMAO

[restive urchin]

Can I get banned for using Cronus zen ? I’m using that to use my ps5 controller on Xbox

[sage ice]

yes

[restive urchin]

Ah fk lol

I’ll need to find a better alternative

[sage ice]

Use an Xbox controller

[indigo scaffold]

Guys

I am pondering whether or not I should purchase The Stanley Parable

[sage ice]

If you want to play it, buy it

[halcyon stratus]

at this point in time I'd say stanley parable would be worth $5.
i see it is on sale on steam for $7.50.... if you really enjoy exploration games it would be worth that. If you prefer action games and hate 'story games' then it wouldn't be.

[sage ice]

24.99 currently on Xbox

[halcyon stratus]

oh big yikes no

[sage ice]

I need to start that game soon to start the timmer

Super Go Outside
Don't play The Stanley Parable for ten years.

[halcyon stratus]

oh no, i can't. the steam mac version is so old it is a 32 bit app which can't be used anymore lol

[versed swan]

why are software companies pushing updates that disable years of computer applications

[sage ice]

because tech is evolving

[versed swan]

evolution that renders perfectly useable software unusable

[halcyon stratus]

32-bit only applications are not 'perfect'

there is a real cost in maintianing a translation layer that allowed a 32 bit app to run on a 64 bit native OS

[restive urchin]

I hâte xbox controller joystick placement

[halcyon stratus]

one of the single greatest problems with Windows, causing thousands of bugs and hundreds of hours in wasted time for Windows devs, was the insistence on keepiny 8 and 16 bit app shims decades beyond when they should have dropped them

[sage ice]

and I dislike the PS joystick placements ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hollow hawk]

I dislike both, Wii U gamepad ftw

[versed swan]

why'd you buy xbox if you don't like the controller

[halcyon stratus]

i bought a ps5 and i odn't like the controller...

[restive urchin]

Cuz my friend and family play Xbox

[halcyon stratus]

the left thumbstick is uncomfortable for me

[restive urchin]

Contrary for me lo

[halcyon stratus]

btw: https://a.co/d/7LyVVqo

[sage ice]

lol, I dont need a PS, too many games I own on Xbox I havent touched yet

[halcyon stratus]

Here, solved it: https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/23/23841614/hyperkin-competition-xbox-controller-hall-effect-drift-free-sticks-playstation-announcement-specs

[sage ice]

I do like that controller, hrm, maybe I will get it for my PC

[queen lotus]

There’s the thrustmaster controller

[halcyon stratus]

Well if you get it for your PC, there is a Chroma edition too 😉

[sage ice]

you link was the chroma lol

[halcyon stratus]

sorry I meant an Xbox edition

[sage ice]

I shouldnt spend money, I may need to buy a car.

[halcyon stratus]

so 'correct' button layout: https://a.co/d/6sLGaRq

[sage ice]

I havent had my car all month. It is stuck at a dealer 100 miles away waiting for a part that they have no clue when they will get....

[versed swan]

ooh hall effect? i gotta see if they have normal stick layout

[halcyon stratus]

wait why is the xbox layout $75 and the ps5 layout $250

[versed swan]

wth?? that's just.. what?

$250 controller too 😭

[halcyon stratus]

that's a lot extra for the touch pad...

[restive urchin]

Only thing I wish dualsense had is more battery life I don’t charge my controller in weeks lol with Xbox

[halcyon stratus]

oh darn it, all these 3rd party ps5 controllers dont' have adaptive triggers or rumble motors 😦

[queen lotus]

That’s why I have 2 controllers. Just swap them as they need charging

[versed swan]

oh goodie, my neighbor has mailed me $20 for bringing up her trash bin every tuesday, maybe i won't miss the black friday sales after all

[fluid creek]

Wut

[versed swan]

however, assuming it doesn't snow (which it somehow barely has this november so far??) i still must bare the cold walk to the gas station, or just convince my dad to drive me

i also have the age old dilemma of "this game or that game"

[versed swan]

fantastic, I'll leave after lunch

everything's coming up milhouse

[restive urchin]

I do too hehe but I need to check if I can swap battery to a better one

[copper aspen]

imagine they allowed starfield on Xbox one S

[restive urchin]

It’s only 30 for series x can’t imagine one s

[trail harness]

it would not even run

[restive urchin]

True

[trail harness]

One S likely would run out of memory and crash

[versed swan]

i don't like car repair horror stories, one shop claimed to do 10 minute oil changes, and one car exploded with amazingly nobody hurt thankfully

[queen lotus]

Load screens for every door to hallway.

[versed swan]

i also remember kylie telling us here about how she waited a few hours before someone who worked there came out and realized they did not have her car on their schedule

[open flume]

ive had my car stolen all 23 times ive brought it to the shop in the last five years

ridiculous

[versed swan]

you gotta be joking no way

[open flume]

bright side is i get GREAT gas mileage by walking everywhere

[versed swan]

😦

[quasi echo]

you would have a smoked box one S.

[versed swan]

if it's the same shop all 23 times a lawsuit should be afoot imho

[open flume]

its so weird cuz every time i go, they take it away from me. i come back hours later like hey gimme my car. they give me the car back and either i have new tires on it, or they fixed the alignment, or theyve even invaded my privacy by replacing fluids in it!

[sacred sierra]

Hey guys

[versed swan]

oh, you ARE joking

[stone needle]

Hey. Got a series X. Love it so much. I can play all my xbox 360 games on it

As much as I like all the new releases and the power the console has. Backwards compatibility is cool.

[versed swan]

anyway it is thankfully that time of year https://youtu.be/94Ye-3C1FC8?si=4YLlyStvoK2Ghk8J

Alguém pra jogar mutiplay

[mellow roost]

Yep.

I was sitting in the lobby of Discount Tire for quite literally 6+ hours. I was there until they closed, and they asked me if I needed anything else which was when they found out that I'd been there for so long when all I needed was a tire change.

Got the tire for free, which was worth the wait. 😂

[weary solar]

#rules 🔤 2. Use English only. Communicate in English, but be considerate of all languages.

Starfield just feels...idk. buggy and empty

[mellow roost]

Starfield isn't "mid," and if you're gunna criticize something, let's be more constructive.

[stone needle]

I personally like todd Howard and Bethesda. But I think it was a miss

[restive urchin]

Yes its soulless

[stone needle]

There's some great things about it. I love the weapons and the loot, items ect. The major cities are beautiful.

[restive urchin]

Engine is old face expression is stiff

[stone needle]

But, a lot does seem...dull Empty, soulless

[open flume]

you havent played it then. or rushed through the main?

120 hours in. the UC Vanguard questline is one of the top 10 best questlines ever put into a video game

[stone needle]

I do admit. I haven't played all of it. And perhaps I'm making a judgement too soon

[open flume]

the story beats, the swerve, the reveal, the callback, the deep impact, the environment changes. all of it

incredibly well done and i wish i was a second human so i could play that questline again just to experience for the first time once more

[stone needle]

I chose the space libertarian guys over the vanguard. Maybe the wrong choice

Also, game was unplayable on my Series S, I could only play when I upgraded to an X

On series S, if I wasn't in a closed environment it ran at like 12fps.

[upbeat matrix]

I wouldn't say that, I think people's main criticism that the Bethesda same old formula is getting repetitive and they didn't try to innovate or change it with starfield

But overall the game is great and it's definitely the best looking xbox game in a while

Also its full of content

[restive urchin]

😂

Baldur gate easy beat starfield

[stone needle]

Man texas chainsaw was one of the worst games I've ever played tho fr no diss

[mental summit]

hullo

[restive urchin]

Yea it’s fun if you like Friday 13th

[stone needle]

If the family just camps the exits it's done lol

Also very clunky movement from what I remember.

[restive urchin]

Indeed

I prefer that over dead by daylight lol

[inland surge]

what mics do you guys use?

[restive urchin]

None yet since Xbox had the genius idea to have different audio input or w/e lol current mic is compatible ps5 Mac and pc only

[mossy forge]

Anyone here play fh5 and has finished hi team and low team?

[restive urchin]

Also u mean headset or standalone mic ?

[stone needle]

Yes

[copper aspen]

Doesn't really run on the Series S. Nvm one S

[mossy forge]

Please

[stone needle]

It's been awhile. Don't really remember anything about the missions lol

[restive urchin]

Series S is having difficulty keeping up 60 fps now lol

[stone needle]

Yeah it wasn't cutting it for me. Had to upgrade

[inland surge]

headset, im looking to get one around maybe $60

[mellow roost]

Developers set the performance goals for their games depending on the hardware.

[inland surge]

how much is it

[restive urchin]

Go check

[stone needle]

I'll have fun on Bo2 zombies tonight

[inland surge]

how do you connect a wireless mic into a xbox controller

[stone needle]

They ruined zombies when they made the entire thing about doing Easter eggs.

[mellow roost]

So you've hated zombies since like 2011?

[stone needle]

Haven't hated it. Just don't like them. And yeah pretty much lmao

Bo1 zombies was a work of gaming art

Also i like your pfp

[mellow roost]

If it's compatible with the console it will say so on the box and the instruction manual will tell you how.

when will devs stop the remastering of games and make orginal titles 🙏🏿

[dark sparrow]

Die Rise is a terrible map, verticality sucks

[civic moat]

Ive got a question, ive currently got a one s, im thinking about either upgrading to the one x or series x, whatre the differences?

[pale remnant]

upgrade to the series x 100%

[gray latch]

series x is current gen, one x is last gen

[stone needle]

Hit the X, S won't cut it for any new released like GTA 6 or ES6 imo

[tired hare]

Only two

[civic moat]

I know that, i just hear the series x isnt much more powerful than the one x

[pale remnant]

"the greatest thing a gamer can do is admit that someone was better then them"- someone idk

[stone needle]

It's way more powerful boss

[gray latch]

that's actually not true at all

[mellow roost]

The One X is a discontinued last-gen console and I wouldn't recommend it since no new first-party games are coming out for it, and it's largely being left behind overall.

Whoever told you it wasn't much more powerful lied to you.

[pale remnant]

series x and one x is litearly comparing mike tyson with a featherwieght boxer

[dark sparrow]

PhD Flopper>PhD Slider

[civic moat]

well time to somehow scrape together 500, the one s is starting to have a harder time with current games now

ive got a pc, but i also really like playing on console

[pale remnant]

the series s is a great option if you cant afford the series x tho

the ssd alone makes it a much better experince then the one x

[civic moat]

i would, but ive heard that a lot of companies dont wanna make games for the series s because its got lower power than the series x

[mellow roost]

You've heard ragebait articles.

[pale remnant]

microsoft wont allow that though, they wouldnt kill the series s over game devs

[tired hare]

Wow

[civic moat]

ive also got some disc games for xbox, so i dont want those to go to waste

[mellow roost]

[tired hare]

Hey guys, out of curiosity am I the only one that receives random group invites on my Xbox DMs?

@civic moat can I ask you quesions

[pale remnant]

considering the fact the series s is the only console in the market that meets that price range where lower income people can buy, and microsoft is not going to give up a huge market for a few game devs

[tired hare]

Is this a common issue everyone else deals with? And how do I stop them?

[pale remnant]

they are bots trying to get you to join groups that have links to some adult websites

[civic moat]

but i thought they were required to lower down their games power load so it could even be put ON lower power consoles, atleast thats what ive heard

[pale remnant]

90% of all random group invities ive had are bots giving the same few links

[civic moat]

i think i will just save for the x tbh

[mellow roost]

So the same thing devs have had to do for every console generation for games that also had PC releases?

[tired hare]

Who is the ceo of xbox

[sage ice]

did you google it?

[tired hare]

The question was am I the only one? I just turned on my Xbox for the first time in a month and my think had at least 6

No

[versed swan]

google.com of course!

[pale remnant]

everyone gets them

[tired hare]

No

[tired hare]

Spencer is the head of Microsoft Gaming.

[mellow roost]

GTA V was heavily scaled down for the 360 compared to the PC, and look at how successful it was.

It makes no real difference.

[pale remnant]

they've been a issue for a while and it seems random to who targets them

[gray latch]

it's Captain Halo

[tired hare]

Ok

[civic moat]

ig, idk much about the behind the scenes and im just now getting more xbox content on my medias

[pale remnant]

issue is you cant compare a 1000 dollar pc to a 500 dollar console

[tired hare]

Alan Hartman manages Xbox Game Studios (not ZeniMax or Activision Blizzard)

[sage ice]

1000$ pc is too cheap though

[pale remnant]

compare a 500 dollar pc to a 500 dollar console

[dark sparrow]

He seems a lil busy

Hello. I got xbox gamepass 2 days ago. I've wanted to try out dead by daylight, however, whenever I try to play it, it gives me a launch error of, "Unrecognized Game Client. Cannot Continue." I've tried basically anything any tech channel said, and what their support team said, in fact I reinstalled windows 11, and it gave me the same error, however in the bottom right, windows notification system gives the prompt from Easy Anticheat, "Unknown File Version: wingdk-shipping" I would much appreciate if someone could give me tangible help, not this nonsense bull. I have everything updated so don't tell me update my drivers. I verified everything, sfc scanned, I don't know what to do.

[tired hare]

Expensive.

[pale remnant]

you block and block but once a bot locks onto you more bots come and you just wait till they stop

[tired hare]

He

[pale remnant]

for me it comes in waves like randomly 7 invites in a week

[tired hare]

They stopped for a long while then picked back up again.

[mellow roost]

Unfortunately, there's so much hate and sensationalism in the industry, and it inevitably leads to claims being made that spread like wildfire.

The Series S is a weaker system, sure, but it's still very capable.

[pale remnant]

the amount of messages the bots can send is limited im pretty sure

they focus on people instead of just randomly sending messages to random gamertags

people pay for this bot advertising 💀

[tired hare]

Something causes it, I'm sure of it. My gaming habits with Xbox changed around 2020 into 2023 and stopped

[restive urchin]

It’s very capable of you don’t mind 30 fpsfor ue5

[stone needle]

The S was great for me for years.

[tired hare]

I think it was either I rarely went online, I focused more on single player games, or something else.

[sage ice]

30 fps is fine

[mellow roost]

Which everyone should be used to as that has been the console standard for decades.

[pale remnant]

you get way more if you go on multiplayer games

[restive urchin]

Yea but it’s time to upgrade in 2023 60 fps should be standard

[stone needle]

Nobody was mad when they had to play fallout 3 and 4 at 30fps

[pale remnant]

single player games are accepatble at 30 fps but multiplayer should always be 60 fps, thats the gold standard for console

[sage ice]

30 is fine on multiplayer

[halcyon stratus]

I don’t think gold standard means what you think it means

[restive urchin]

Loool

[pale remnant]

it is 100% not

[mellow roost]

fallout 3
30 FPS

[tired hare]

Yeah, that's my presumption, even though I haven't played an online game on Xbox in YEARs.

[pale remnant]

theres a reason the standard for fps shooters for like 20 years has been 60 fps

[sage ice]

it has not lol

[pale remnant]

it has?

[restive urchin]

Gl playing cod 30 fps vs pc with 140+ fps xD

[pale remnant]

atleast with 60fps you have a chance to outskill them

[restive urchin]

Yep

[sage ice]

you can still out skill at 30 fps

[restive urchin]

Ok 😂

[pale remnant]

they see over 4x the frames as what you see

[sage ice]

that doesnt mean anything

[pale remnant]

if you peak around any corner you are instantly dead considering they see you way more then you see them

in the time you get 1 frame around that corner they have had 4

[sage ice]

but it is still the same amount of time

[mellow roost]

4 frames at 60 FPS is less than human reaction speed.

[pale remnant]

we are talking about a pc gamer thats running at something like 120 fps

[mellow roost]

Also, throwing latency and server sync out the window like it doesn't make the bigger difference here kinda feels a bit off.

[hollow hawk]

Okay, 8 frames at 120fps is less than the human reaction speed

[mellow roost]

You don't get instakilled around a corner because of a higher framerate, that happens because of desync.

I miss the industry before Digital Foundry.

[pale remnant]

just tryna point out that 30 fps vs 120 fps IS NOT a fair fight in anyway

[noble folio]

Hello chat

[restive urchin]

I just want for next gen 60solid with 4K

[sage ice]

then get a PC

[noble folio]

I might get a Series X If I can't get a PS5

[quasi echo]

we talking about halo infinite?/J

[mellow roost]

Any multiplayer game.

[restive urchin]

No

[mellow roost]

Then quit yelling at clouds.

Consoles have almost always been less geared towards the enthusiast, even when speaking of enthusiast models. If you want the highest performance in every game, then get a PC. If you don't care about performance, get a console. That's the long and short of the decision process here.

[pale remnant]

60 fps is not high performance, is litearly what is a accepatble experince

[gray latch]

wut

[sage ice]

60 is indeed high performance

[quasi echo]

I think the 12 year olds are upset that they have to go back to school on monday and are screaming about how fast pixels move

[pale remnant]

the orginal arugment was its fine for console to run multiplayer at 30 fps

[pale remnant]

me waiting for the day consoles can finally run games
at 120 fps
though it will never come
i will hope

[mellow roost]

Lower performance has always been fine, it's just people think too hard about having the optimal experience that they forget that the entire goal of video games is for fun.

[hollow hawk]

Kylie earlier mentioned that 4 frames @ 60FPS is less time than what's possible for human reaction speeds, do some basic math and 2 frames @ 30FPS is about the same. This, on top of server desync, etc.

30FPS multiplayer is fine.

[fallow moat]

Halo: MCC runs at 120 on Xbox Series X.

[mellow roost]

GoldenEye ran like dirt on the N64 and yet it's one of the most influential games literally ever.

[noble folio]

The Xbox Series X Is Closet thing to that I mean Xbox's have always been designed to be simmiliar to a PC

[pale remnant]

modern aaa titles

[hollow hawk]

Doom II, Quake, Doom 3 as well (at least on the typical common machines of the time)

All three had damn good multiplayer

[fallow moat]

Marathon 2 is from 1995 and I believe it runs in 60.

[noble folio]

Dam Straight

[quasi echo]

._. then go play that

[pale remnant]

which was more infulential, quake or doom

[mellow roost]

Doom.

[stone needle]

This is true. But when im stutterlagging around akila city on my old series S. It kinda sucks lol

[dark sparrow]

I love staring at the floor so the game isn't at 8 frames per second

[pale remnant]

anyway i go now

[fallow moat]

Certain home doom ports were looking to have very low frames…

[mellow roost]

People stutter on the Series X too. It's a hefty game that's bottlenecked by the CPU. It happens with BGS games. They've always performed...less than ideally and yet people still love them.

[dark sparrow]

I still don't know how the game has frame drops on the series x

[mellow roost]

I mean vanilla Skyrim can't go 5 seconds without having a tantrum and yet it's one of the community's favorite games.

[stone needle]

Fair enough. But since upgrading it handles the game significantly better

[stone needle]

I don't think I've experienced a single significant frame drop playing ES5 on my series x

[mellow roost]

I wasn't referring to the enhanced versions.

[fallow moat]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/1308rcb/which_out_of_these_doom_ports_to_you_is_the_worst/

[stone needle]

Oh. Duh.

Sry

[fallow moat]

The 7th gen console port of doom is real smooth

[stone needle]

Installing bo2. Gonna play this joint for the first time in probably 5 years

[mellow roost]

That being said, even the enhanced versions can be a minefield. Bugs everywhere. Had to go through the game without mods for 100% and honestly it blows my mind just how jank vanilla still is even after all these patches and revisions.

[stone needle]

I really need to explore modded skyrim

[restive urchin]

I can’t stand 30 fps 60 dps should be bare minimum 30 fps feel like playing with 10 fps

[sage ice]

then play on PC

[restive urchin]

Good thing you’re not Xbox ceo

[mellow roost]

I fail to see the relevance.

[fallow moat]

What’s weird is, the 60fps version of halo infinite felt like 30, but the 120 fps version felt like 60.

[restive urchin]

We would be doomed in 30 fps

[stone needle]

I'll drop an opinion cause I feel like it. World at war was such a sick campaign. Before games really had to worry about graphic content. The True forgotten brutality of the 2nd world wars Pacific front. Brilliant

[mellow roost]

It's time to quit trolling. 🙂

[restive urchin]

Next gen with 30 fps can’t imagine

[hollow hawk]

I forgot Figma sets filenames to the name of the frame so now this is named like this on my hard drive

[mellow roost]

Games absolutely had to worry about it, that's what the rating boards are for, not to mention public perception.

Games like Manhunt, for example, were hugely controversial.

[stone needle]

Yeah I kind of realized it might be the complete opposite. Games are far less restricted now perhaps

[dark sparrow]

They somehow put Manhunt 2 on the damn Wii

[hollow hawk]

I'm gonna have to give that a try someday

[stone needle]

Lmaooo

[dark sparrow]

And the Wii Version is ironically the least censored one outside of PC Modding due to limitations

[stone needle]

I'm surprised world at war caught no flack. Literal scenes of the japenese imperial army ||burning american POWs eyes out with cigarettes|| etcetera.

[hollow hawk]

[stone needle]

I'm pretty sure not capping fps leads to wild things

Minecrafts settings taught me this.

[sage ice]

Max, what you want is PC only

[mellow roost]

Yep. Some engines have things tied to framerate. It's not just as simple as flipping a switch or "writing a single line of code" like some people seem to think.

Unfortunately, they love being loud and wrong all day long.

[dark sparrow]

I usually test PC's with seeing how well they stand up to the Minecraft TNT Test

[hollow hawk]

for me it's the good ol' "can it run BSL"

[stone needle]

Also. I may be on the spectrum giving how quickly my brain wants to think about a new thing

Black sabbath improved heavily with Dio on the mic

[dark sparrow]

Old GTA Games in the corner:

[mellow roost]

Giving a couple examples off the top of my head, Skyrim's physics was tied to the framerate and having over 60 caused...issues. Dark Souls 2 had a few aspects of combat tied to the framerate, so running the game past 30 FPS would make your weapons break faster.

[stone needle]

Woahhh fr? Damn

[dark sparrow]

Seems like Call of Duty really only breaks when you get into the 300-1000's, the remnants of the Quake Engine be showing.

[night sun]

UE5 is a really fantastic engine and the things it's capable of are really, really awesome. Lumen and Nanite (in short, they deal with some rendering wizardry), for example, are super awesome.

That being said, different engines are built for different reasons, and there's really no wrong choice. All just depends on what you want.

Shame that a lot of the time I see UE5/Unreal in general in a game the game is a studderfest with grainy, almost half-rendered graphics
It looks like I'm playing a blender render with some games

I treat my tech mostly with dignity. This white controller hasn't seen more than a few drops and bumps with on/off use since last December, yet the Xbox one controller has sticks worn down to nothin, and has been seeing pretty much unending use for 8-9 years is still kicking, no stick drift or messed up buttons in sight

I'd say these everything-playlists are good if you wanna discover new music, which is the main reason I even bother sharing them. I listen to a lot of music and I'm always trying to find the best (or at least pleasant-sounding) songs.

Typically the only thing that gets filthy for me are controllers. Grime builds up from dead skin and such.

To the point of taking a toothpick to the edges of the controller sometimes. Absolutely nasty.

[final cove]

I actually appreciate how consoles and controllers are getting easier to maintain and clean

[fiery python]

Yeeeep. Before we got a full tank for our gerbils rather than a cage, we had issues with sawdust dust getting everywhere because they kicked it all over the place.

[final cove]

That's something that would cake a heatsink pretty quick

[hollow hawk]

huh, my pet guinea pig did the same thing with their bedding, they also chewed every inch of wall they could get their little teeth on.
I have an evenly spaced line of chewed up wall trim because of that little dingus. Even then, I'm still kinda upset I had to get rid of him since my sister was allergic.

[fiery python]

They have a full tank now, so there's no gaps from bars for them to give stuff out. Just the air holes on the lid but they don't get that high up.

[mental summit]

So im trying to get to system settings to reinitialize the system and get the hard drive clean, aside from that and air dusting it, any ideas?

[final cove]

Not much I could tell you here without breaking rules.

[mellow roost]

You should be able to factory reset it in the settings, or when going into recovery mode. Outside of that, not much else we could suggest.

[mental summit]

Probably get the local repair shop to replace the drives and do a professional cleaning. I’m certified in it and networking but really don’t have the patience to do it mtself

[near lintel]

My ps4 pro died from my cat sleeping beside it cuz of the heat

So the storage corrupted

Pepsi Max 2L https://amzn.eu/d/cZjanZb
£1.50 a bottle rn but comes down to £1.42 if you order 4 or 8 of them.

[gray latch]

pop!

[near lintel]

I almost clicked that lmao

Is it scam

[gray latch]

it's just an amazon link

[winter forum]

Were you interested in the history behind this or it a bit "nah you're alright"

[fallow moat]

Just EU Amazon lol

[fiery python]

I'm angry that Pepsi have discontinued Pepsi Max Raspberry in favour of the new mango one. 🤬

[near lintel]

I'm canadian so I don't know what eu Amazon looks like

[fiery python]

Just .eu instead of .ca

[gray latch]

it's good that you're cautious tho

[mellow roost]

Not at the moment, but it might be interesting sometime.

[near lintel]

My old pc died due to a fake Amazon link lmao

[gray latch]

oh nooo

[broken tusk]

So are the prototype games good?

[winter forum]

No worries.

[idle spear]

They are pretty dated but still can be fun

[silver heath]

Hello guys

[fallow moat]

Sup

[silver heath]

Nothing I just landed in the server

[limpid flicker]

I really liked them. The traversal is fun, and the story is fun as long as you don't expect it to be too serioous.

Plus, there's a weird delight to the way the game protagonist is just like (right from the start) "I'm not a good guy. I'm just out to get the worse guys."

[idle spear]

I remember infamous and prototype came out at the same time but a played prototype a few years on

[mellow roost]

Welcome!

[limpid flicker]

I do not enjoy Prototype 2 as much, because they tried to make the character more heroic, and that just feels too different.

[final cove]

Just bought Street Fighter 6 woooo

[idle spear]

Nice

[final cove]

See if I can go 62-0 in lobbies like I did in 2009 🥴

[idle spear]

I’m not that good in online for fighting games but playing offline was fun for me

[final cove]

Offline is always the way to go

[balmy sphinx]

How do you get a headphone jack out of your controller cause mine snapped

[winter forum]

I've thoroughly enjoyed the Infamous series but never played Prototype

[fiery python]

I love the Infamous games. Second Son is what finally pushed me to get a PS4.

@dire sphinx Xbox will give you a free account, then you buy GTA like everyone else.

Think it was God of war that made me want a PS4, same reason I've just got a PS5 really. I know Ragnarok is on PS4 but I think the experience is a little better on PS5

[final cove]

Don Mattrick made me want a PS4 lol

Phil Spencer made me want a Series console

[kindred sentinel]

I bought a PS4 to play Death Stranding, had fun playing the other exclusives while I waited for it to come out

[winter forum]

I wasn't sold on death stranding immediately, I waited for it to go cheap. It's a pretty unique game though, I quite liked it

[kindred sentinel]

I really enjoyed it, it’s different but it’s rewarding if you stick with it

[crimson tangle]

Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving

And hope y'all have a good weekend

[cerulean basin]

I start the day completely tired from last night... and with a friend's housewarming and birthday tonight still to attend

[winter forum]

Student mode = on it is 😉

[summer magnet]

Morning 🙂 I start the day being tired form lack of sleep lol

[tired hare]

Ori is such an amazing game..

Also morning everyone!

[cerulean basin]

Ori was such a pleasant surprise. Really fun!

[honest lodge]

Why is the Elite Controller £150, whereas the normal Controller is £40-60????

[cerulean basin]

Because it has more features and different quality materials

[honest lodge]

Are those really worth £100 more though?

[cerulean basin]

Depends on how much you want those extra features

Some people want to be able to customize their d-pad, sticks, add the back paddles...
Some people won't care about those and won't need the Elite.

[long maple]

many use them cause of the 4 extra paddles on the back, 3 profiles for different games as you can edit the layouts or even change the buttons. like A could be Y, trigger stops. also 40 hours worth of battery life per charge. etc etc

[winter forum]

The build quality is questionable at best and "should probably be recalled" at worst. I wouldn't recommend one at all.

[honest lodge]

So the 8bitdo Ultimate (Bluetooth) has those features, doesnt it? Its only £60

[long maple]

I like the extra weight of them, been using since the first Elite came out, cant go back to normal controllers anymore. I use an Elite v2 Core

[cerulean basin]

That one doesn't connect to Xbox wirelessly to begin with. You cannot change the sticks or d-pads either.

[tired hare]

I agree!

[cerulean basin]

I got the Elite 1 several years ago. I liked its weight and the feel of the triggers in particular. But yeah... not a fan of the rubber grips, so I don't use it anymore.

[honest lodge]

Fair do, id need the bluetooth version anyway but i came across the Elite Controller, just didnt realise it wasnt worth the money for me anyway

[cerulean basin]

It's definitely not for everyone. But it's clear why it's more expensive than the base controller just looking at the picture of what it includes:

[fiery python]

There's also a charging dock under there.

[cerulean basin]

To this day I'm still extremely annoyed that 8BitDo doesn't create wireless controllers for Xbox. I absolutely love their controllers and I want to use one for Xbox. Just not wired.

[idle spear]

Everyone I know who has had an Elite controller seems to have broken within a year. Kind of put me of them

[honest lodge]

Oh ok so you do get the extra bits and charging dock too? That sweetens the price some what

[tired hare]

These are probably just preference things but is it better to play an Xbox controller with or without kontrol freeks?

Yopo

[long maple]

I always get lucky. my first Elite only broke cause I left it ontop of an Xbox One once. and the grips started peeling off

[tired hare]

Dang

[cerulean basin]

Matter of preference. I'd never put anything extra on top of my controller's sticks.

[molten briar]

i still use my first elite v2, 4 years later

[winter forum]

I was laughed at by tacticat when I first joined got making the same observation

[tired hare]

How do y'all feel about wire vs wireless controller

[winter forum]

Doesn't really bother me, not like the console is that far away anyway

[tired hare]

I agree it’s a preference

[long maple]

I sit really close to the Xbox, but I prefer official controllers and not 3rd party cause those never last long for me

[tired hare]

For some odd reason they feel weird against my fingers to put something on my sticks or is it mainly just me?

[cerulean basin]

If it can be wireless, I see no reason to play wired unless I'm completely out of batteries

[honest lodge]

I want wireless as im playing xpass cloud on my tab s7+

[long maple]

bought my son a PowerA controller a long time ago and the RB broke in 2 months

[tired hare]

How that happened

[winter forum]

I used them on my 360 pad because the original rubber has pretty much worn back to the plastic

[long maple]

he plays Rocket League and Fortnite lol.

[tired hare]

Ahh ok that makes sense

[tired hare]

That cool

[tired hare]

Ah hardcore gamer

[long maple]

RB is build mode. he is the one that builds mansions fast as possible. gone through atleast 4 controllers

[honest lodge]

Seems i have 3 choices, stardard xbox controller, 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth or xbox elite controller ranging in price from £40-60, then £60, then finally £150

[cerulean basin]

You cannot use the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth wirelessly on Xbox, mind you

[honest lodge]

I wont need too....lol id to buy a xbox first lol

[tired hare]

Cause of third party thing

[winter forum]

Nah it just doesn't connect

[cerulean basin]

Xbox doesn't have Bluetooth

[tired hare]

I trying to buy Xbox too

[tired hare]

Really

[winter forum]

Rhinne? Do you know if there is a TA leaderboard for this discord server?

[tired hare]

Skyrim probably gonna be one first game I play when I get one

[cerulean basin]

The Anniversary edition has tons of improvements from the community mods that won't affect achievements 🙂

[summer zephyr]

my xbox messes up when my controller turns off

[tired hare]

Yeaa

[long maple]

dont believe there is one on TA, all thats happened through my time here is people have added me onto the site

[honest lodge]

Its more annoying as im playing xcloud on a android tablet i need bluetooth connected controllers

[tired hare]

Do you know why it does that

[summer zephyr]

nope

uh

[tired hare]

What does the Xbox do when you turn off the controller

[summer zephyr]

i cant join or leave partys

[cerulean basin]

I play on an Android phone, but I prefer to use a wired controller.
But in that case yeah, you can use one of 8BitDo's gamepads. I always travel with their Pro 2 in my backpack.

[summer zephyr]

and i normally restart to fix, it gets annoying though

[cerulean basin]

Apparently you can join them, otherwise you wouldn't be able to test that you cannot leave them

[summer zephyr]

i cant hear audio properly either

[tired hare]

Maybe you need a new controller

[summer zephyr]

spotify abuses my ears and no game audio

[cerulean basin]

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/friends-social-activity/parties-chat/troubleshoot-parties

[honest lodge]

Pro 2? Just looked at that on amazon, looks nice, for £33

[cerulean basin]

Yeah, I wanted one that could connect to my PC, tablet and Switch as well

[summer zephyr]

i be restarting my xbox but i be playing games i need the audio and coms

[cerulean basin]

I also have this one for when I travel light 😄 The SN30 Pro

[civic moat]

Wheres the cheapest place to find a series X?

[cerulean basin]

Depends on where you live and what offers exist around you

[tired hare]

Walmart might be cheapest

[long maple]

yeah check for deals some places have them cheap due to Black Friday. dont know how long they gonna be that price for though

[civic moat]

as of now california but within a couple weeks ill live in montana

[tired hare]

If you live by one

As anyone play the fable game before

[cerulean basin]

Yup, the first and third ones

[tired hare]

Yes they we're fun

[cerulean basin]

The first one in particular I'm quite attached to, loved playing it when it came out on PC.

[tired hare]

I never played the first one

Just the second and third one

[vernal nimbus]

Nobody here works in Xbox enforcement

[molten briar]

even if someone did work in enforcement, they wouldnt admit it here lol

[tired hare]

guys will i be able to change my location then use another countrys xbox giftcard?

[cerulean basin]

The chaos it could become

[cerulean basin]

No. You have to buy and use gift cards from the country you're currently in

[tired hare]

oh

i cant find a giftcard in the country i live in 😦

[cerulean basin]

Might not be a supported country

[tired hare]

but i can buy a xbox console here

[cerulean basin]

That doesn't always mean it's a supported country

[tired hare]

oh ok

[cerulean basin]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/regions

[molten briar]

not all countries that support xbox allow gift cards

[tired hare]

welp my country is not supported

nobody cares😂

Hello

[cerulean basin]

Hey there

[tired hare]

didnt ask

[idle spear]

What’s everyone playing today?

[fiery python]

Bit of Hardspace Shipbreaker at the moment.

[idle spear]

Nice I’ll have to look into that one

[tidal topaz]

Nothing at the moment. Working right now but probably some BG3 later

[native fern]

maybe modern warfare 2019 and modded mc in the morning

[idle spear]

Nice

[little harbor]

Btd6 is so goated

[limpid flicker]

It is really good if you're interested in the premise. Basically if you know what the premise is you're either gonna be instantly sold on it or not, I'd say.

[still cargo]

i already have an xbox, so should i get a playstation or a switch?

[cerulean basin]

Well, if you have games for those platforms you want to play, why not?

[idle spear]

Don’t think I’ve played anything like that before based on reading the description and the trailer but I’ll probably give it a go at some point

[still cargo]

if i were to buy a ps4, i would have to buy a new tv, since my current tv has an xbox occupied

[final cove]

Omg Street Fighter 6 is awesome

[cerulean basin]

That makes no sense, you can plug in more than one console to a TV usually, more than one HDMI port. Or you can just unplug one and plug the other when you need to.

[cerulean basin]

Don't tempt me to spend more on the sale, please 😂 It's on my wishlist.

[final cove]

Dude I've been playing SF2 in tournaments for a long time if it's worth anything

[idle spear]

If you get a hdmi switch it won’t be a problem

[final cove]

This game is miles and miles above 4 and 5

[idle spear]

Which mode are you playing the story mode?

[final cove]

I jumped immediately into ranked mode

[idle spear]

Ah right

[final cove]

Ran with Juri, fundamentals, and a dream

[still cargo]

Ok just make me pick, playstation or a switch?

[idle spear]

The new design for cammy is nice

[cerulean basin]

Same question back to you: if there's a game you want to play on either, get the console with the games you want to play

[final cove]

What Xbox do you have now?

[final cove]

My first opponent was a Cammy using her OG outfit. He completely destroyed me because I had modern controls on by default

[idle spear]

Ah yeah I turned off the modern controls, felt like I was cheating lol

[final cove]

I was like lmao what is this Mortal Kombat

[cerulean basin]

My coworkers really enjoy the modern controls

[final cove]

I gotta figure out what to do with my stick to make it compatible with the Series S

It's fantastic for newcomers

[idle spear]

It’s a nice accessibility feature as fighting games are hard to get into but once you want to get better classic controls are the way to go

[final cove]

Been using the same Qanba since 2012

[still cargo]

xbox 360

[final cove]

Why a PlayStation or Switch? Get a Series console

[still cargo]

i was joking

i have the series x my dad gifted me, its just getting kinda boring

[final cove]

I'd prob recommend a Switch. PS5 is more or less the same thing except for some exclusives

[still cargo]

okay thanks

[idle spear]

Switch and ps5 have great games, can’t go wrong either way

[limpid flicker]

Amazing to me how you can be be bored with everything on XBOX.

Maybe even another shot at a Rambo game lol

[tired hare]

Or a doctor who game

[vestal cypress]

Honestly, we havent had a really good game from those genres in a while rhinne

Pred game was ok but balancing choices by devs ruined it and isolation was years ago

[fiery python]

With what they managed to do with both Terminator and Robocop, I'd trust them with those IPs

[long maple]

yes I agree, just scrolled to where you wrote.. Dredd would be a good one for sure
